Are you sure the files are going in there? Many times the manufacturers only allocate the size that they need partitioned on that drive. I have seen many cases where that drive is full from factory and people always get that message.

Click Start and right-click Computer .

Select Properties .

Click System Protection from the left side of the Window.

In the section "Automatic restore points", remove the selection next to the D: drive, and then click OK . If the D: drive was not selected, close this window.

Right-click Start Explore All Users .

Before you can remove the backup files and folders, you need to be able to view hidden system files as follows:

From the explorer window press the Alt key on the keyboard to make the menu bar appear in the window.

From the file menu, click Tools , and then select Folder Options .

Select the View tab.

Select Show hidden files and folders , remove the selection from Hide protected operating system files and then click OK .

If a Window opens stating "You don't currently have permission to access this folder" opens. Click Continue .

If you previously copied or created any files into Recovery (D:) and you want to keep them, copy them to another drive - such as the C: drive.

Find and delete any files that you previously copied onto the Recovery (D:) drive.
CAUTION:Do not delete any files that are associated to recovery! Do not delete the items RECOVERY, $RECYCLE.BIN, boot, hp, PC-Doctor, pcdr, or PRELOAD! Doing so can prevent a future system recovery from the hard drive. If you are not sure, do not delete the file.
Press Shift + Delete to permanently remove the files.
To delete files created from MS Backup (MS Backup files are not recovery files), find and delete the folder with the same name as the computer name in the Recovery (D:) partition. For example if the computer name is BOB-PC, the folder containing the backup files would be named BOB-PC and would be deleted.

Several confirmation windows open. Click Continue , and Yes until the folder is deleted.

To set Windows Folder Options back to their original setting as follows:

From the explorer window press Alt to view the file menu.

Click Tools , and then select Folder Options .

Select do not show hidden files and folders and select Hide protected operating system files .

Click OK .

Close explorer. The Out of Disk Space errors should no longer appear. If you would like to use the Microsoft Backup Tool again, open it and select a different external backup device to store the backup files on.

There are two ways to password protect a folder built into Windows
XP (for other Windows flavors, there are some freeware/shareware
programs out there).Method 1:- If you have a
log in password for your account, this can be used to protect folders
from other users. Your hard drive must be formatted using NTFS (which
it probably is unless you're dual booting with another operating
system). Here's what to do...

Right-click the folder that you
want to make private and choose "Properties" (or Alt+Double-click). Go
to the "Sharing" tab and check the "Make this folder private" box.

Click Apply . If you do not have a password on your
account, a box will pop up asking if you want to assign a password.
This must be done if you want to make the folder private, so click Yes
. You will need to use your password to log on to your computer from
then on.

Type in a password then confirm it. Click the "Create Password" button then close the Password window.

Click OK in the Properties dialog box.

Now anyone else logged on to your computer can't access that file without knowing your password.Method 2:- If the Folder is Zipped you can give it a unique password.

Just double-click the zipped folder. In the top menu select File then click "Add a Password".

Type a password into the Password box. Then again in the "Confirm Password" box.

Now,
you are the only person who can access files in this folder. The folder
can be opened allowing the files to be seen, but you are the only one
who can access them.

For backups of music/pictures, you can either user windows backup tool.
Or if you want to choose more specific files then, create a new folder within you new external HD and name it 'Back Up' within this folder create some more folders say Documents, Music and Pictures.
From here navigate to the files/Folders you want to backup and right click and copy them, next head back over to you backup folder we created and paste the files to the relevant folder whether its music pictures or documents.
If you need more just ask.

Do you
share a computer with other users and want some extra security on
your folders? There are two ways to password protect a folder built

freeware/shareware programs out there).
#1: If you

Right-click
the folder that you want to make private and choose "Properties"
(or Alt+Double-click). Go to the "Sharing" tab and check the "Make
this folder private" box.

Click Apply
. If you do not have a password on your account, a box will pop up
asking if you want to assign a password. This must be done if you
want to make the folder private, so click Yes . You will need to

In an earlier post I had written about how to create an invisible folder. That’s a method to create a merely invisible folder with no real protection.
Now, here we will see how to create a folder that will not just be invisible, but also require a password to reveal it and open it. The best part is that you don’t need any special software to do this. Just plain old Notepad is all that you need.
Here is the code that you need:
cls@ECHO OFFtitle Folder Personalif EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCKif NOT EXIST Personal goto MDLOCKER:CONFIRMecho Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)set/p “cho=>”if %cho%==Y goto LOCKif %cho%==y goto LOCKif %cho%==n goto ENDif %cho%==N goto ENDecho Invalid choice.goto CONFIRM:LOCKren Personal “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”attrib +h +s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”echo Folder lockedgoto End:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folderset/p “pass=>”if NOT %pass%==pwd123 HERE goto FAILattrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” Personalecho Folder Unlocked successfullygoto End:FAILecho Invalid passwordgoto end:MDLOCKERmd Personalecho Personal created successfullygoto End:End
Now here is what you need to do:
Just copy the above code and paste it into Notepad. Save it by giving it any name you choose. Assuming, the file is called secret.txt, change the extension to ‘.bat‘ so that the new name becomes secret.bat. What you get is a batch file. You could actually save one step by saving the file in Notepad directly as secret.bat by enclosing the file name like this: “secret.bat” . This batch file is the one that you need. You can edit this batch file to change the folder name and the password. To change the name of the folder that is created, change the ‘Personal’ (in bold in the above code) to any another name you choose. Likewise change the ‘pwd123′ (in red in the code) to anything else.
Now let’s see how to use it. Place the file in the location where you would like to create your protected folder. Run the batch file by double clicking on it. This will create a folder named Personal in the same location as the batch file. You can now open this folder and place any files in it. Once you are finished, run the batch file again. You will be asked whether you want to lock the folder. Entry ‘Y’ (for Yes) and hit Enter. The folder becomes invisible. To retrieve the folder, run the batch file again. You will be prompted to enter the password. Enter the password, hit enter and voila! the folder appears.
Important: The batch file acts like a key to open the locked folder. So once you have created and locked a folder, do not keep the batch file in the same location since anybody can open the batch file and view your password. So I would suggest that you keep the batch file in a separate and safe place or better still keep it on your pen drive or flash drive. That way when you want to open the folder just copy the batch file to the location where you have your protected folder and run it.
Do remember that the above method is not intended to act as a substitute for the numerous free and commercial softwares that are specifically designed to provide security and encryption to your data.
Update: I got comments saying the code does not work. Of course I did check it before posting it here. But I have identified the problem. The problem is with the straight double quotes used in the code in this post. Once you copy the code you would also need to change each of the double quotes with your keyboard double quotes. That might seem a lot of work for some. So I thought it would be easier to give away the batch file itself. You can download the file here. (Use right-click and ‘Save Target as’ or ‘Save Link as’).

Try installing another OS on the same PC with a bootableOS. If you succeed then try to clean all viruses by an authentic/genuine Anti-virus. After that you should have access to your files for backup and then go for a clean install..........sodeep

Restart your computer. Upon seeing the boot screen press F8 sometimes more than once. You will get an option window of which you chose "Safe Mode" you will get to the log in screen. Select administrator. Select "Yes" to the window that pops up. Move all the files in your my documents folder under c:\Documents and settings\HP Owner\My Documents. If you don't your stuff will be deleted. Move it to a different folder like c:\Backup.Then go into user profiles in control panel and select HP Owner then change password. Then reboot and you will be good.

Funny you should rate my last solution post, almost there, yet you cleaned the temp files, surely thats problem solved??, along with instructions to convert to ntfs
You should find the backup programme on accessories>system tools> backup.
If it's not there then you have to get hold of an XP cd and look in the 1386 folder, open NTBACKUP folder and run the installation.
